DIABETES DRUG AND ACCUTANE BLOCK BREAST CANCER CELL GROWTH
Breast cancer cells exposed to a diabetes drug (Troglitazone) and the
Vitamin A compound Accutane stopped multiplying and died on cue in
laboratory and animal studies conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The
drug combination appears to have no adverse effect on healthy cells, either
in laboratory studies or in immunodeficient mice injected with human breast
cells that form tumors.
